"very nice apartment in a quiet area but close to living quarters. Although apartment equipped with a terrace, which if it does not offer an unforgettable view is nevertheless an indisputable plus point...
"

"The roof terrace was really perfect. We have really enjoyed it.
The apartment is located in a nice neighbourhood with near al the necessary tents and parks.
The check went smoothly in and out and we even got a lift back to the airport. In addition it gave the owner the same useful tips and information.
Very nice apartment."

"Lovely apartment in a good location. There is a supermarket nearby and also a metro station plus cafés and a park.
Owner was very nice and very helpful."

James, mature couple, New York, United States of America I 02 Mar 2015

"The apartment is located on a quiet street and is on the top floor of a walk-up building. There is a small market about 2 blocks away and you can walk to Praco Principe Real in about 5 minutes. Be sure to check out the organic market located there on Saturdays from 9am - 2pm. There are 2 bedrooms but be warned: the smaller of the 2, which has direct access to the terrace, does not seem practical for 2 people to sleep in due to the pitch of the roof. You can only enter/exit the bed in that room from one side.
While the pictures of the apartment are quite representative of what the apartment actually looks like and the WiFi/Internet works quite well, we were quite disappointed with our stay. We had booked the apartment for 8 nights in Feb 2015. Upon arrival we were met by the owner who gave us an brief tour of the rooms. We saw and heard some red flags right away. First, the bathroom has a very large area of black mold that runs along the area where the back wall meets the ceiling. Second, the owner told us that while she had 3 space heaters in the apartment, we should only use at most 2 at a time. Using more than 2 will cause the circuit breaker to fail. Then she mentioned that the igniter for the gas stovetop doesn't work and that we'd have to use matches to light it. Then, when she showed us the deck she commented that she "just noticed" that the seat of one of the chairs was broken.
Later during our first day we started to notice many small brown ants in both the bathroom and the kitchen. Then we started to notice them in the living area and the smaller bedroom. Then we found them crawling up the wall of the larger bedroom in the middle of the night. We used some bug spray to try to get rid of them but the problem continued. On the 5th day of our stay the ant infestation became VERY alarming as we found huge swarms of them in the cutlery drawer and in the dishwasher. After spraying again we called the owner and she came by to investigate. She claimed she'd never seen ants there before, and gave us some sort of pesticide to place around the apartment that night and told us she would come back the next day to clean it up. She did come back the next day and cleaned and that seemed to address the problem.
We also discovered on our first night that most of the lighting in the kitchen was not working. There is no overhead light in the kitchen at all - lighting is provide by 7 small lights located on the bottom of the cabinets and a light built into the exhaust hood above the stove. 4 of the 7 cabinet lights were not working, nor was the light above the stove. We informed the owner of this problem, and the light above the stove was replaced, but the 4 cabinet lights were not repaired during our stay. As a result, it was not easy to cook at night in the kitchen due to the darkness.
However, our problems didn't end there. Regarding the electricity, it is not possible to use more than 1 or 2 of the appliances at a time, including the heaters. So if you have 2 heaters on (e.g., 1 in the bedroom + 1 in the living room), turning on any other appliance (e.g., hair dryer, dish washer, etc..) will cause the circuit breaker to fail. In fact, we found we weren't able to run any other appliances at all while the dish washer was running as the circuit breaker would repeatedly fail. This might not be a big problem in the summer when it is warm out, but in February when the night temperatures are regularly in the 8C - 10C range, you will need the heaters on in this apartment. Without them the temperature inside the apartment isn't all that different from the outside air.
On the 7th day of our stay, which was a Friday, we returned to the apartment at around 8pm after having been out since 8am to find there was no electricity at all. There was electricity in the rest of the building, but not in this apartment. After calling the owner, she came by and called the power company. Apparently some bills hadn't been paid and there was no way to get the power restored until the following Monday (!!). Without electricity in this apartment you will also have no heat or hot water. As such, it was necessary for us to abandon the apartment the next morning for a hotel for the balance of our stay in Lisbon.
The owner was very polite and apologetic about all of this and also refunded us 4 nights payments. However, due to all the problems the apartment was the least enjoyable part of our stay in Lisbon. Having the electricity cut off is inexcusable for any homeowner when there are short-term renters staying in the home. And the problems with the circuit breaker are a giant nuisance. For us, there were simply too many hassles to deal with for a short-term visit. It seemed like every day we had 1 or more problems in the apartment we had to try to find a solution for. And then, of course, we were forced to abandon the apartment due to lack of electricity. All of these issues served only to detract from our stay in Lisbon."

"Appartement liked us very well and we felt very much at home.
Who is very confining, you should book basically no apartment under the roof or roof terrace in Lisbon. The airport is located close to the city and you can see takeoff and landing aircraft actually everywhere in the city and hear. Only it is less during the day as evening when looking over the city would drink even a wine. Depending on which direction the wind is coming, you can watch from the roof terrace of landenen or launching aircraft. Between approx. 23.00 and 6.00 is resting in the air.
The opposite House was renovated at the time of our visit and was also there during the day to hear the one or the other craftsmen.
Both but not really bothered us. Don't expect just absolute silence in a big city...
The apartment itself is relatively small but very well cut and with a pleasant space. Everywhere, there are Windows and views, so no feeling of narrowness. On the contrary. We (2 adults + 1 child) have not felt that it was too small or too tight. The beautiful roof terrace with views is another highlight. It could be somewhat cramped for 4 adults.
The photos reflect the reality well. The recordings (recorded with a quite wide angle object) the reality of how rehabilitated ended little :-)
In the apartment there is also Internet/Wi-Fi. The electrical problems are now fixed according to the lessor. Everything worked perfectly. The apartment is really equipped with everything you could need to: by dishwasher have washing machine, up to iron, juicer, Toaster, Blender, pans, pots, hair dryer, umbrellas, Sun umbrellas, etc. Since no wish remains open. Crockery and pans are as usual from IKEA.
We had a few tabs for the dishwasher with not having to buy a whole carton. Who like to Cook, can enjoy themselves well in the small kitchen. A potato peeler was unfortunately missing and you can consider whether guests didn't bring his favorite knife and a reasonable wine utensils as a passionate Cook from home.
The mattresses are hard though not super comfortable but at least pleasant. For air conditioning, electric radiators or mobile fans are available depending on the weather conditions. Air conditioning is missing. There, it can be sure quite warm under the roof in the height of summer. Now in September, everything was perfect. A packet of tea is recommended for a quiet sleep with Windows open and all is well.
The location of the apartment is perfect in our opinion. You can reach much walking. Closer nearby are shops and a well-equipped, small supermarket, which is open every day until 21: 00. Further course is beautiful, park-like small one more or less in front of the door with restaurant and cafes. There is also a bus and in good 10 min are station walk at the next metro.
Finally, a thanks to Cristina, who has accompanied us very friendly and reliable. In a few cases, where as had a question, she was can always be reached.
We can further recommend the apartment with small restrictions as the noise concerning therefore absolutely. "

"Very nice, well maintained small apartment (but no 60 m2, but rather 30-40 m2 due to the many angles). Actual 60 m2 would be more comfortable for four adults. Would have liked us to strenuous "hiking" in L. relaxed in a deck chair or armchair, and not on a Chair to relax od in the bed. All available (even dryer) up on a teapot (:-(). Service by Cristina, was perfect: very helpful u generous. Thank you. Aircraft noise questionable depending on the wind direction.
Overall: Although we had critical remarks, we felt very comfortable there."

"Very nice apartment, very clear and valuable terrace... especially in the evening after a hot day! Think about close shutters before leaving in the morning... otherwise furnace the evening! May stores to improve the comfort?
Cuisine: a coffee maker would be significant and should be considered to replace the 2 stoves very damaged. One or two bowls and a serving dish would be a plus!
Side races: A nearby supermarket (Praça de flores) open daily until 9 pm and a merchant of fruit and vegetables at the bottom of the building! Restaurant in the street and on the pleasant Praça das flores
Very close to the centre... but very quiet and close to the bustling streets of bairro alto. Easy as (all downhill) to reach the train station Cais do Sodré, which allows to go in Belém or the sea
Recommend!"

"Apartment: friendly, small and clean, quiet with a pleasant terrace. But with what awkward Affairs:-5 narrow stairs
-too little kitchen stuff as you want cooking;
-sink without stop and continuous bad kitchen sink drain, no sink, dishwasher provided. The kitchen defects are notified) beheersters
-many slanting walls in rooms (inconvenient for tall people)
-Spring mattresses not very comfortable
-Location and area:
-simple and very quiet area
-No neighborhood for people who moderate to walking difficulties (all streets in the
neighborhood are steep to very steep)
-bus stops fairly near, as well as grocery stores."
